I missed the utility line technical test by 1 and am looking for help identifying the location of the below 2 questions. The books we are allowed to use are the NEC 2011, OSHA, NESC, and Lineman's and Cableman's Handbook. The questions below are how they are on the test no additional information is provided.

I appreciate all and any help.

How many conduits can you fit in a 28”x18” area?

On an overhead service drop, at what distance is a support pole needed?
 
The first question is unanswerable unless they gave you multiple choice and you eliminated the answers that simply wouldn't fit. The second one might be in NEC Table 230.51(C), Supports.

I hope that the first question at least specified the size of conduit!
As for the service drop support, that will probably be governed by NESC rather than NEC.

They could provide the number and conduit sizes in the answers but then you would have to calculate each answer to find the correct one.
 
Does not specify conduit Size

Does not specify conduit Size

The question "How many conduits can you fit in a 28"x18" area" does not specify a size. The question is written just like that and the answers do not have a conduit size either but just a value. This question has come across on both versions of the test and is one I would like to track down.
